Better questions.
More responsible AI.

We study how AI agents reason, remember, and work with people. Open research to make their capabilities and limits easier to understand.

Before Agents Act: Interpreting Failures under Socially Distributed Access

Dan Hsu, Luke Lu*

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop AIWILD & IAB

Selected work on agentic context, verification, and socially grounded evaluation.

02 / Research directions

THE QUESTIONS.

Understanding AI means looking closely
at what happens along the way.

01

Agentic systems

What survives
a long task?

How agents preserve goals and context across multi-step work, use tools, and recover when a plan breaks down.

Context & memory research
02

Model evaluation

What does a
score leave out?

Evaluations that make model behavior, failure modes, and actions in socially distributed environments inspectable.

Agent evaluation research
03

Human-AI collaboration

Where does human
judgment belong?

Workflows that connect human feedback and AI capabilities while keeping responsibility and accountability with people.

Our operating principles

03 / The foundation

PUBLIC
KNOWLEDGE.
PUBLIC GOOD.

Advanced AI should be easier to understand, evaluate, and hold accountable.

RedMind Research Foundation is a California nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3). We conduct open scientific and educational research on AI systems for public benefit.

Our work is intended for researchers, students, builders, policymakers, and everyone with a stake in how AI is developed and used.

04 / How we work

HUMANS HOLD
THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Human-governed.
Agent-collaborative.
Open-by-default.

01Human authority

Board members and officers retain responsibility for mission, compliance, conflicts, spending, filings, public claims, and formal organizational decisions.

People govern the work.
02Bounded agent work

AI agents may research, monitor, summarize, draft, maintain internal trackers, and recommend options. They do not bind or externally represent the Foundation.

Agents support the research.
03Open by default

We intend to share research, methods, benchmarks, tools, and educational resources publicly where appropriate, with exceptions for privacy, safety, legal, and confidential matters.

Knowledge serves the public.

Our founding operating framework evolves as formal board policies are adopted.

Open research. Shared understanding.

05 / Stay connected

GOOD RESEARCH
STARTS WITH
A CONVERSATION.

Ideas, questions, and research conversations are welcome.
